'Polaroid Pete' - Game Guide

The more pictures you take, the more activity happens on screen. You can trigger events by using your zoom and flash. Experiment with your camera functions to earn yourself bonus points. The flash function can make invisible items appear such as ghosts or make people turn around to face you. If you zoom in on certain characters or events they will react differently and you can earn extra points by taking their picture. Use your jumping ability to spot photo opportunities particularly in the background.

The items that hit you and take away your film, flash etc can be jumped over, flashed away or photographed for bonus film.

Each stage has a set number of points to achieve in order to progress. The better your photography the more points you can gain. You will be awarded more points if you manage to take better photographs. If you can take a picture in the exact centre of your target you will receive more points (Cool and fine Bonus)

Keep an eye on the amount of film you have as it can run out quickly, particularly on the harder difficulty settings if you are too trigger happy. The objects that fly at you are a good opportunity to stock up as they usually turn into bonus items such as film or flash bulbs when you snap them.

Certain photos will be placed in your album when you grab their picture. Each level has a certain amount to collect, try to snap them all.

Every stage has a key moment to photograph. In order to progress you need to capture this event. If you don't manage to capture this picture you will fail the level even if you have made the points target. If you earn enough points and take a picture of the special event even if you run out of film you will pass the event. There are also super secret events on some levels that open up extra levels if you manage to take their picture.
